Day 223 - 228 Spiderton further deteriorates, and then TAIN

Day 223: more investigating!

They begin to see graffiti around SPiderton that hints that something bad is coming, and refers to Calum Kyle, and the Black King!  They figure out that the worship at SPiderton is not effective, because Lord Kellinor is going armed onto the temple

They hatch a plan!  They will build a covered temple through the spider cave to a set of goblin doors they have seen on the far side, and then escape through there to avoid this terrible terrible winter.

Winter is especially terrible

Day 224
Things get worse, the graffiti escalates to actual attacks against them.  Those cultists, who captured Lady Foerster and Lord Kellinor, they are CITIZENS of SPIDERTON! SPOOKY MUSIC.

They kill one, Braxton, and his Savage Scroll.

Day 225
Boz and Gronk tunnels
Earl, keeps guards on shift, even as people begin to sneak away from SPiderton in terror
OLo writes a religious tract (critted the roll)


Day 226, they finally must hunt!
Their hunting is interruped by a Keerdah attack, and they find that Jean Mocquais was turned, and then he was forced to drag Olo's hobbits out into the cold with him, while they fled his ravenous maw.
Upshot? The goblin king has the stone, is hunting the MoC and is allied with teh Black King against them.

Day 226-227, things GET WORSE!!
THey hunt, they build, they temple,
Lord Kellinor ails, SPiderton shrinks.. there are traps, there's graffiti, there's cultists... it's bad
THe tunnel to the Goblin Tunnels continues to proceed!  This could work!
Isabel gets trapped alone and has to fight a gelatinous cube!

Now we come to day 228:
Earl and ISabel meet  Sammy and Taggart, two barbarians who seem frienldly, but suspicious.
they elude them, and sneak back... or do they?

THe tunnel is done, and the group make their way into the goblin tunnels, but they're not goblin tunnels, they're DWARVEN tunnels!!!
They met 5 dwarven scouts, Theboum, Orizzag, Dwarholin, THrahasam, and Yukhunli, who agree to trade for food

But when they get back to SPiderton
THere's the barbarieans!!
Sammy and Taggart appear, and explain that Tain needs the Orb of the Black King.  THey rbuff them and they get two weeks... to think about what they've done. (until day 244)





(Where in this did the person representing the BLack King sue for peace?)
